Liking Mike

On the heels of news that Marlon Wayans is playing Richard Pryor in a biopic comes word that Jamie Foxx wants to pair up with his "Ray" director Taylor Hackford, for another true life tale

Foxx tells MTV News that he wants to play former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson...

Foxx says "We have a certain kinship, and we've talked about when we do get back together what it would be like. I think, for something like this, it would be great because everybody remembers that era. And it's been a long enough time that people need a refreshing."

Tyson has already given the idea his full support- "I've reached out to Mike, and I've been open about it. I think that, of all the biopics that are out there, he has the most interesting story that no one has ever heard."

I smell Oscar already!
